honestly, im about 6 hours total into the beta on pc and i dont like it, not nearly as much as bad company 2, i fucking love bc2. bf3 is a completely different game. its a lot slower. you better fucking use cover, even in spawn on the first open part (first section of metro map). there is a pretty big learning curve imo. compared to other games of this genre i feel that you die the fastest/weapons are all strong (feels like hardcore mode in bc2/cod) and have the hardest/most realistic recoil for most weapons.

edit: have you ever played red orchestra, er the new one at least, it feels actually kind of similar in the way you need to use cover and prone a lot and die fast/weapon strength

dolphin diving is pretty much back

guns sound fucking awesome

aiming with iron sights, at least for me, is really fucking hard. once you get a scope its so much easier.

another thing is that i cant stand this lighting, uses some weird filter or something so shadows are really dark and light is really bright or something, i cant figure it out and to me it makes spotting enemies really hard sometimes

on pc you cant walk around the map like he is, youll drop once you get out of spawn in the first part.

he also mentions "putting a sniper [rifle] on assault class" lol no you cant

operation metro blows, i can not wait for caspian border to come out

this sounds like exactly why ill like it then if its slower.

BC2 and COD and all those other ones are too arcadey and fast for me. BF2 was "slow" and thats what made it tactical, yet not too much so, it was just the right balance.

ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

He's on 360. Only beta video I've found so far.

There are hundreds of HD videos, many on PC at "Ultra" graphics settings in YT. Just plug in "operation metro" or "caspian border," sort by most recent and bam, all the beta footage you can handle until it opens up tomorrow.

PC beta was ~4GB when it was put up and people that got wind of the leaked password for Caspian Border had not trouble joining so I'm pretty sure it was included in the download for some reason or another. The PS3 beta download was about 1GB and I haven't heard that there is a PS3 Caspian Border server so I can't explain why there's another 4GB of stuff to dl for the PC version.
